Butterflies, Dragonflies, and Snails oh my!

Traveler Two, with whom I shared my adventures in Scotland, and I went for a short walk out around part of the Burrage Pond Wildlife Management Area in Hanson, MA late one afternoon. The dragonflies have finally begun to appear yet numbers seem lower than years previous. The water is way down, which is odd considering all the snow we had this winter and all the rain we had this spring. But there were still some interesting shots to be had.

Pearl Crescent: common visitor of fields and meadows. It's larva feeds on asters.
